The Nazarene Poem by Stephen Loomes

Everyone is fighting, Within their psyche's envelopeThey each, have a cross to bear The Nazarene is a teacher of hopeIf we listen with care He tells us to love our enemiesThat yoga unique and profoundOtherwise our hatred and enmitiesStick on us like woundsNot infecting our perceived tormentors.This concept is not easyHow can we truly grasp its meaningSometimes it can appear ludicrousIf you conjure the image of a callous killerAnd his victim loving him.One day I hope to understand forever, Until then I content myself with a Limited application.I do not mean to cast too much doubt on the preceptHowever.
